Guu Izakaya

Guu is one of those spots you can basically order anything off the menu and know it will be delicious! One of the, if not the first Izakayas in Toronto, Guu is still showing the rest how it's done. It was my first time visiting in many years as I usually don't come to the area and while I know it was always a favourite of mine, I forgot how good it actually is. My favourite dishes here are the Kakimayo, Aigamo Tataki, and Kinoko cheese bibimbap - all must tries imo, but as stated before I'm sure your tastebuds will be happy with anything you order. This time we had the Kakimayo, Aigamo, and Kale Gomaae and they were all delicious and prepared with a high degree of care. Service is excellent and the vibes are on point. Energetic yet not overly loud, the perfect setting for dinner and drinks while on a date or with friends. I go to Izakayas quite a bit as it's one of my favourite ways to enjoy food with drinks, and honestly this visit reminded me that Guu might truly be the best I've had. I'll definitely be coming down to this area a lot more just for Guu, and you should too! Bonus points for the Ichigo easter egg!

Really enjoyed this place! It’s Japanese Tapas/small plates. All the food was delicious, we tried the Karaage, Ebimayo(battered prawns) from the regular menu and the fish sliders and Takoyaki from the seasonal menu. They also have great cocktails were the cocktails, my favourite was the Ichigo Crush that has lychee. The atmosphere is cute, casual vibe and you can see the chefs cooking. Would definitely come back here.

Very cool location to come with friends for drinks and snacks. I really like their specials-menu which rotates as well as their udon, which has the perfect consistency. The last time, I came here with just one other person and the portions of the dishes were just right but if you're coming with more people you may want to double up on your orders. The food is in-between casual and fine dining, so expect quality over quantity. It is an izakaya so it can get rowdy and loud especially later in the evening but if you go earlier it feels more like a restaurant.
